lol...

so i decided to implement a 'poorlist' display in my iquidus explorer code.
(aka Scurvied )


it revealed an interesting address
  NRwgBBzi54psLTNYT6TcMBUtvsLnALifzK

i really do hope its just a precision error in iquidus totalling things up.
otherwise in the FSM blockchain universe a rip has occured in the space around that address.

but if the FSM decrees it, so be it

you can enter that address in the official explorer too and see the same result (hint: balance)
      http://explorer.noodlyappendagecoin.net/address/NRwgBBzi54psLTNYT6TcMBUtvsLnALifzK

  http://coins.dognose.net:3001/richlist

ps:
  i didnt implement the poorlist because i really thought people cared about addresses with dusty amounts, but rather to actually test for glitches in Iquidus code and/or reveal oddities in blockchains.
when i extended the size of the richlist up from 100 to 500 a few bugs were definitely revealed -- and probably why nobody ever increased that size before
the poorlist has already revealed, via significant negative balances, to me something i didnt expect it to reveal -- one blockchain i support i needed to run an Iquidus 'check' (addmissing) because the original database build failed on fetching some blocks (one of the very big weaknesses in the original Iquidus code.) the missing transactions in the database are what led to the negative balances. on very large/old blockchains a sysadmin tends to avoid running a 'check/addmissing' because it takes a long long time and prevents current updates from being done.

i actually support more than one obscure altcoin, and it has occured to me that there is no tool for 'average' crypto users to look at and determine the overall 'quality' of a coin's blockchain when making investment or divestment decisions.
or perhaps when an altcoin scandal is in the news and people are just curious to look for themselves.
i'm sure coders who do blockchain forensics in their sleep have all kinds of tools and scripts up their sleeves, but the average investor and news reader person really is in the dark and too reliant on what others say in forums.

i also plan on in the future implementing address grouping (showing all addresses likely owned by one person) and could likely be most useful in studying the activities of a crypto exchange or pool. again, something blockchain forensic nerds do all the time.

shady operators will never use my resulting Iquidus version
they're probably already avoiding the original Iquidus. one coin i'm into uses Abe explorer, while giving a rich listing does NOT give the in-your-face summary and graphic of the distribution of the richlist like Iquidus would.
it is very bad for a coin that old Abe is a wise choice for them...

let me know if there is any type of info hiding in a blockchain you think would be useful to people in general, either easily viewed or summarized in some way.

Regarding NRwgBBzi54psLTNYT6TcMBUtvsLnALifzK, if you manually look at the balances on the explorer, the total balance is supposed to be -0.00000003, not -0.00000002.  The whole issue resembles a rounding issue on the explorer.

OK, who hashed the hell out of this yesterday?
Looking at the explorer someone hit the small pool I setup.
Very few people know about it. But it's the you tell a friend and they tell a friend and the next thing you know everyone knows about it.

It's only a 60 block re-target so no big deal, just really odd.

Somebody slammed the difficulty again a few hours ago. This is just getting stupid.
Since it's the pool I setup for just myself and a few other people to mine at occasionally that is causing this I am going to make some changes next week that will hopefully take care of it. Nobody has admitted to it so....

One ShorelineCrypto customer asks for addnode address, here is what I found for NDL:
74.113.36.20:40021
23.233.55.92:40021
47.144.227.79

"connections" : 0
wallet not sync
I am a pool https://zpool.ga/site/mining operator, if you are interested in adding coins - give normal addresses and a configuration file

[DaveF]

74.113.36.20 is up and I see many connections to / from it
coins.dognose.net  ( that is the 23.233.55.92 address) is also up and I can connect to it.

I see these also in my console. I have no idea if you can connect to any of them:

47.144.227.79
140.186.30.102
60.186.30.102


I see the explorer stopped last Friday, that should be back up and running within an hour.

Explorer is back up to date.

Makes you wonder how many other alts are out there from that long ago.

Side note we now have a POOL:

Why is that stupid? Difficulty gotta rise. I skipped through the code but found no alarming spots nor suspicious lines I would feel the necessity to report. Madness is the only reason why people mine it. Only an outcast with sixty kids living below the waterline in a petroleum tank could be the archetype of a person paying attention to anything this insignificant.

The problem is that when people mine really hard really fast briefly and then leave it, the difficult is raised significantly to account for that miner.  Once that miner leaves and the difficulty has been adjusted to account for their presence, it can take days to get the blockchain moving again at a steady pace because the remaining hashing power isn't enough to hash enough blocks over a short period of time to alter the difficulty to reflect the lack of the really powerful miner.

i've said it before, if the blockchain needs an increase or decrease in mining just PM me here or use the contact link at the bottom of my explorer.
i can control my hashrate and 'ease' the difficulty down or up as needed.

I can too, it just annoyed me that there were only a handful of people who knew about the pool and nobody would admit to it.
I eventually blocked that IP and called it a day. With the new pool it's all out in public.

what? the block reward went up to 3750 from 1250

starting at block 1873440   9th Jan 2020 08:33:34 GMT

wouldn't have noticed if i weren't playing with explorer mods at the moment.

and now at block 1874880 it went back down to 1250
